The Los Angeles Model Railroad Society (LAMRS) is a
non-profit California corporation made up of a diverse group of model
railroad enthusiasts of many ages, professions and backgrounds.
The LAMRS has been promoting the hobby of model railroading for more
than thirty five years and is the proud operator of the HO Scale Great
Lakes & Western (GL&W) Railroad.

Our layout is located at 14005
South Crenshaw Boulevard in the city of Hawthorne. We are open every
Tuesday night at 7:00 PM except the 1st Tuesday of the month. Visitors
to the club are always welcome, however it is recommended that you call
the club (310-675-3361) in advance as our schedule may vary.

The LAMRS uses its model railroad interests to benefit the
community. We do this by offering entertaining and educational events at
our very large model railroad layout (2000 sq/ft) to groups like the Boy
Scouts of America and by presenting displays and information at local
libraries. We also
use our bi-annual open house shows to raise funds to support various
beneficial community programs. We accept donations of model railroad
items such as layouts and model trains. See 'Donations' under the
Interchange.

We pride
ourselves
in welcoming beginning and novice model railroaders into our great
hobby and immediately getting them involved in the fun of operating
trains and working on our model railroad. The LAMRS works hard to ensure
the continued development and enjoyment of the hobby for our members
with events such as how-to modeling clinics, group outings to railroad
locations throughout Southern California, visiting and hosting other
model railroad clubs for guest operating sessions, as well as active
involvement with the National Model Railroad Association.
